Post by thread:[OT] HP-2500CP drops Arcs past 27"

part 0 2401 bytes I am using ORCAD version 9.1 (latest) schematic drawing package and attempting to outputting an 'E' sized (34" X 44") drawing to a network HP 2500CP printer/plotter.  Circles/arcs will not plot past 27" in either dimension on the drawing, but all lines and text plot fine.  An anomaly is, if I draw a large full 'E' sized circle, starting before the 27" imaginary boundary, it will plot O.K. I have tried the latest drivers from the web, both HP & Adobe.  Orcad is the only program that shows up this problem, but Orcad also thinks it is a printer driver problem & HP sort of agrees, but cannot come up with a solution as yet.  I have sent HP a .PRN file and they are looking at it. I have been struggling with this problem for a month now - does anyone have something else I can try.  Its very frustrating. tks Mike Mike Montaigne Neutron Program for Materials Research Steacie Institute for Molecular Sciences National Research Council c/o Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd.

Are you sure you have the offsets specified right? I don't know if your version is like mine, but I have to specify X and Y offsets and sheet sizes for the particular plotter, taking into account unprintable areas, which vary from model to model.
